I've been doing bits and pieces of work in Lingo while helping a friend with some projects he's working on, but I haven't found any good resources for actually learning the language. I'm sure I could pick up an old book somewhere that explains it, but I really just want a quick lesson and I think a website with some sample code and func...

How do I compare two dates in Lingo? To be specific, I want to know if today's date is after some fixed date. I know I can create the fixed date by using: date("20090101") and I can get the current date using: _system.date() but I can't seem to directly compare the two. Do I have to parse the _system.date() to determine if it's aft...
I have a lingo script which runs some data processing for a Flash movie. I can call my Lingo functions from Flash by putting the following inside one of my methods: getURL("Lingo: myMethod"); and I can pass parameters from flash to lingo as follows: getURL("Lingo: myMethod param"); However, if myMethod returns a value, I can't seem...

I'm trying to get a better handle on what it really means for a language to be "dynamic". I have quite a bit of experience with Lingo, which is the scripting language for the Adobe (formerly Macromedia) Director product line, and I'm just wondering if it would be considered a "dynamic language". The way variables and lists are handled s...
Would Director be an option for creating a socket client? My client needs to accept server commands; frame rate, start etc. Director seems like it was made for controlling movies. I've got Director 11.5 at the office. Any lingo experts that could advise? Interaction with client SERVER==>XML PACKET==>CLIENT==>swf plays on given frame a...
Hi. I recently had a client contact me asking for an update to his project that I used to maintain/develop years ago. It was done using Macromedia Director (now Adobe Director) and Lingo. Since I haven't developed anything using these technology in such a long time I need some assistance. The majority of the changes are simple, but ...

However, the w3d never seems to come from the user's local cache. The documentat...
